You cannot escape New York Comic-Con
New York Comic-Con is looking at the end of the week, and to celebrate the occasion The Beat has a stiff neck, doubtless touched off by the stress. We’re maing a stress pizza here, folks; nay a veritable stress bouillabaisse. Luckily, or unluckily, every other person we know in New York vagely involved in comcis is having the same stress pizza. So it’s a stress pizza with EVERYTHING, including anchovies.
We’ll be giving tomorrow’s Beat over to our world famous, non-stop New York Comic-Con preview. If you have a signing schedule posted somewhere we can link to, post it in the comments or in an email. We’ll round ‘em all up. We’re also assembling our world famous Party Poop page so send us links to that, too.

I love bouillabaisse! But when I make it, it’s shame and guilt that are the secret ingredients, never stress.

I’ll be signing at the FoL table as well as the Indie Spinner Rack table, details here:

Sorry about the double post, Heidi. Dang web browser!
04/14/08 at 9:04 pm
I will be there for Saturday only. I need to figure out though how I am going to get my browsing of the show floor in and see all of the cool Saturday panels. I may have to get a Sunday badge. I wonder if I can pick up my Sunday badge on Saturday.

A stress gumbo is best… everybody adds something to your pot, you let it simmer all day, as the aroma permeates the entire house.
the Con starts early… Jim Hanley’s hosting a minicon (soupcon?) of talent this week, CBLDF has bar sketching AND Jeff Smith… There’s Icv2 on Thursday, and I’ve got an appointment on Saturday!
christmas on passover! Yippee! dancing the comics haka! dreaming in a nine panel grid!
oh, and according to Lance Fensterman’s blog, presales are up 100% over last year. Look on the bright side, Heidi… you don’t have to worry about hotel reservations!
